Nami stared at the flaming tent for a moment before barking orders at Sanji, Luffy and Usopp, who looked as shocked as she felt.
"Luffy! Throw some water on it. Sanji-kun!"
"Yes, Nami-san! "
"Kick the sand onto the tent, and try to smother the flames."
"Right away Nami-san! " Nami turned away from the cook, rolling her eyes.
"Usopp! See if Chopper needs any help with Zoro."
"Yosh!"
Nami glanced around the barren landscape looking for Ace. When she found him she would make sure Luffy kicked his ass. What's his motive? He wants White Beard to be the Pirate King . . . right? That means he should go after Luffy, so why attack Zoro? Unless . . . oh no! Nami started to run towards her Captain. She had to tell him what was going on. She tried to shout his name, when a pair of rough hands clasped over her mouth.
"Not yet Nami," came a quiet voice from behind her. "He'll find out soon enough." Nami's eyes widened as she was slowly pulled away from the tent. She looked around and realized that no one was paying any attention. They were all focused on the fire, and had no idea what was going on.
They continued to back up, and Ace removed one of his hands. This may be my only chance, thought Nami, but then the world went dark, and she collapsed into Ace's outstretched arms.
Ace looked down at Nami's unconscious form and slipped the small syringe of sedative back into his bag. Chopper may be a poor doctor, but the medication still works. He watched as the sand blew around the little valley and began to settle on the girl. That will do nicely. Ace grinned and made his way back to the small group of pirates, and their worthless captain.
